The Maths Book

Hey guys !!....

So  Recently , I  decided to join the HoO oneshot war hosted by  @account_kamp11673 (I hate the fact that I can't tag people ) and this one shot is for the competition 

Word count: 1828

Here it is. ...

Dear unknown,

People say time heals ... well not in my case . It's been 15 years since my mom left me at my dad's doorstep and vanished ... 15 years since I have lived practically alone . 

I don't have a family I can share this with and nor do I wanna . I have some close friends .... but I've already burdened them so much ,with just my presence that I can't share it with them either ... and well,  I also have my self but honestly .. I am bored of listening to my own dull story too . 

Not at all helping my mood , I found out that I have all the symptoms of depression and I've  had it for a few years now. ... although if you met me , i think I can mask that amazingly,  I hid it from myself too afterall

I feel that's all I can do ... hide and run . I can never do what my parents want me too , what this school wants me too , what this entire goddam universe want me too .... cause I am a coward . 

I am not suicidal. ...no , I don't wanna die so young .... but instead I want to get through this phase ... writing is what I can do the best . These words come out on their own and force my hand to write them .. .. writing allows my thoughts to wonder and come on a piece of paper . 

I am unaware if this letter  will actually reach someone or  just go to  waste .... there is no point hoping ....cause in the end ,it reaches where it's faith lies.

You ... you , the one who found this letter . I know you shouldn't care ... you should just toss this into the bin and forget about it ... but please don't.  Write a letter back to me ... I won't stress about  who you are ...  as long as you care . Maybe you need the help too . Whatever the case .... I'll always leave a letter .. in this same mathematics book

Yours faithfully,

I don't know who I am yet ..

Percy reread the note....The same note that came fluttering down the local library book .... he did find it hard to read ,due to his dyslexia,  but it was worth it

Percy somehow felt himself .... all the nights he'd cry himself to sleep or all the days he wished didn't exist  .... every single moment that he wondered ... who would bother if he died...all the nights he'd almost brought the razor too close to his skin... but of course he didn't show it , for he too could only hide . 

Percy didn't care who wrote this letter .. all he knew was that he was gonna write a letter back 

That's why , here he was , in the middle of the night,  surrounded by  papers of all the letter she thought weren't good enough . This letter had to be absolutely  perfect .... afterall , someone completely unknown is putting all of their faith ..... in him , he wasn't gonna let them down .

Dear  I don't know who I am ,

I am just gonna give you a warning ... I suck at this . I found your letter and immediately  knew that you must've gone through the same thing I went through
